Riddick Bowe Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 One of Axls finest moments as a singer. epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALonghorn Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think Slash said in his book that it was a leftover song from AFD days, and should have been on the original album. For me, that makes sense since it picks up where that album leaves off.Of course, the sound seemed much more polished than AFD. Part of that was Matt's drum. Can't imagine Steven playing that pattern. At that time, he probably couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I didn't really like it at first. I even learned it on guitar a few years ago, concert staple with the band I was in, but it's only a few months ago that I really started to dig it. Absolutely amazing vocal track(s) from Axl.

Can't imagine Steven playing that pattern. At that time, he probably couldn't.It was a clever move, making YCBM the first single. It simultaneously harks back to the rock sound of AFD and comes out of the gate swinging with Matt's powerful drum intro, something which sounds as unlike Adler's drumming as it's possible to get. It's like a statement of intent. "This is GN'R now, deal with it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 one of the best gnr songs period, you guys are crazy to say it should be dropped from the set. Axl does amazing vocals on it, for sure. But the thing that really stands out to me is axl the songwriter. The third verse is the best verse, which is really hard to do. I first noticed Axl had a thing for making the 3rd vesre the best one on this song, which is something he doesn't get enough credit for. CD is full of 3rd verse master pieces also. He finds a way to bring more power and emotion as the song goes along, which in most cases the 3rd verse is the worst. But not for Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 They play this song a lot bumper music. So, what does "you've been sketching too many times" mean, and what happened 5 years ago? Who's calling the lawyers with ridiculous demands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 YCBM goes hard. From that intro, to Axl's little rap near the end, pretty much a perfect GNR song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 one of the best gnr songs period, you guys are crazy to say it should be dropped from the set.Have you heard a recent live version? It's consistently the worst song at concerts, IMO. Either Axl should drop a song or 2 so he can put the proper effort into the song, or he should drop YCBM. The thin clean voice doesn't work on it.

Duff was the best part about YCBM (both times), but it was still sub-par vocally. Axl just can't do it justice anymore I'd love to be proven wrong about that, though.

wasted Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Amazing song no wonder it was Axl and Izzy collaboration. Riffs are amazing, vocals and melodies perfect. I saw a youtube video once and sas surprised to see Izzy front and center playing those opening riffs. Matts drumming also interesting. Why they buried at the end of UYI II I'll never know. It's an opener for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmass Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A dominant song. Matt, Slash, Duff and Axl firing on all cylinders. Just awesome. And like stated before- gotta love "with your ass in the air". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Oh I'm a cold heartbreaker,Fit to burn,And I'll rip your heart in two one of the best gnr songs period, you guys are crazy to say it should be dropped from the set.Axl does amazing vocals on it, for sure. But the thing that really stands out to me is axl the songwriter. The third verse is the best verse, which is really hard to do.

He finds a way to bring more power and emotion as the song goes along, which in most cases the 3rd verse is the worst. But not for Axl.I thought Izzy wrote YCBM? Did Axl write the third verse and Izzy the first two?I think the third verse in Don't Cry (alt. lyrics), and the third verse of Catcher in The Rye are good examples of Axl elevating power and emotion throughout songs like you mentioned Edited August 31, 2015 by Caught_in_a_Coma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Love the song and the video was awesome! I don't know why this video was never added to the dvd of GNR videos.Maybe Arnold wanted too much money.Anyway, awesome song and the 3 times I've seen GNR, Axl rocked it!

wkuk04 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Surprised it hasn't been added officially to the YouTube Vevo Guns page, must be the movie clips. Song kicks ass on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
